It used to be simple. What you see is what you get. A picture doesn’t lie. Proof…or it used to be.

Real? Do we know?

Now everything can be adjusted, tweaked, polished until it looks just right. Wrinkles and so-called imperfections are things we shouldn’t be chasing to fix.

Don’t you agree, my lovely human reader?

Yes, we see it in faces, voices, moments… things that look right, feel right, but leave questions behind.
Not because everything is false, but because certainty isn’t what it was.

This is where we are now and it’s not all bad.

AI’s way of making things better is amazing, even mind-boggling. Let’s face it, it isn’t going anywhere. If anything, it will only get sharper. But I ponder… it seems to bring with it lots of suspicion to the human mind.

Well… here I go again, walking with AI, carrying a basket full of pros and cons.

So… Maybe it’s not about resisting it, but about learning to walk alongside of it. A cordial relationship, one that doesn’t replace what we are, but lives beside it.

I only hope we keep seeing the beauty in the human touch, though, flaws, frailties, messy thoughts and emotions.

All of it.

Because being human…

Is something AI can never be.
